Working with Debbie was amazing. She made everything so easy, guided us through the process, and was quick to respond to any question or concern. Could not have been a smoother transaction. Would highly recommend anyone selling or buying a home to work with Debbie!
We met Debbie at an open house and I am glad we did. We worked with Debbie for over 6 months before we found our home , now time she is almost like family. She always listened to what we wanted and never pressured us into anything. Her market knowledge was spot-on and kept us in the loop about everything. Always followed up without a reminder from us. I’ve never had an issue with Debbie making herself available to look at houses, even with us having a crazy work schedule and often needing to schedule showings at odd times of the day. Debbie i should say is very patient inspite of us not making it easy. And that didn't stop once our offer was accepted: during closing, she called multiple times to check in, answer questions, be there at inspections, communicate with the sellers, and ensure we felt prepared and excited. Debbie goal was to get us something we loved; not just settle for something convenient. We are very happy with the home we found with all her help!
Debbie Kerns truly went above and beyond as our seller’s agent. Her deep understanding of what buyers were looking for made all the difference. She took the time to learn about our home and its unique features. She provided specific recommendations to enhance its appeal, from staging to minor repairs. Her knowledge of the local market was impressive. She knew exactly what buyers in our area were seeking and what would make our property stand out. During showings, Debbie pointed out details that resonated with potential buyers. She highlighted the updated and custom elements that we took pride in featuring in our home. She was able to skillfully negotiate on our behalf, always being aware of local comparisons. Her insights into buyer psychology helped us secure a great deal. In short, Debbie Kerns is not just an agent; she’s an incredible real estate partner who truly understands the ins and outs of the transaction. We’re grateful for her expertise and dedication.
Planning to sell a home is an enormous undertaking. I can not imagine being able to systematially get everything done without Debbie's guidance, assistance, and input. We approached Debbie a few years before the actual sale of our home because we knew we were leaving the area. She kept in touch and got us moving on long term improvments so that we were not frantically trying to get everything done at once. When we got to sale mode, Debbie was in touch weekly and came to help me with projects so that I was never overwhelmed. The timing for everything to be completed up to the sale time worked out beautifully, we were even able to take a planned vacation without feeling anxious about getting the house ready. Debbie is hands-on, communicative, professional, and hugely knowledgable about the entire selling (and buying) process and was able to steer us through rough patches easily. The outcome of our sale was astounding. Due to Debbie's direction we were very happy with the outcome.
I absolutely loved working with Debbie and would work with her again in a heart beat. I bought this residence with Debbie and when it was time to sell it, I was only going to work Debbie. The thought of going with another agent did not even cross my mind. Debbie is extremely personable and it feels like you are working with a friend instead of an agent. And you end up becoming friends as well which is a cherry on top. She understands what your needs are and what will work best for you. I always felt that Debbie had my back and I could trust her judegemnt unquestionably. I cannot say enough good things about Debbie. Its always a pleasure to work with her.
My family and I felt that Debbie did an excellent job for us. She is a great communicator, realistic, approachable, available, and filled with good old common sense. She is a pleasure to work with.
Not only was Debbie knowledgeable about every facet of the process, she managed to anticipate and preemptively answer questions from two first-time home buyers. She paid attention to little details at houses that my wife and I would never have picked up on and used those to our advantage throughout the buying process. She could also speak to the West Seattle neighborhood (and others!) as well as anyone and prepared organized, thoughtful maps prior to our various tour dates. Our focus was in West Seattle; Debbie took us to places all over the city and was critical in our landing in our preferred geographic area. Debbie was always available. If we had a question, she found time to get on the phone. If we wanted to see a property, she made it happen at a time that worked for us. Nights and weekends, Debbie went to every length imaginable to move the process along for us. I have already recommended Debbie to multiple friends who might be purchasing a home in the next year or two.
